Product Information
Full details
The Trespass Aretha Gilet is designed for women seeking a versatile, warm, and mobile outer layer for various activities. Its key benefit lies in providing core warmth and weather protection without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for layering. While excellent for transitional weather and active use, its sleeveless design means it's not a standalone solution for extreme cold.

FAQs
Is the hood on the Aretha Gilet removable?
Yes, the Trespass Aretha Gilet features a detachable hood for versatile wear and adaptable weather protection.
What material is the gilet made from?
The gilet is constructed from Polyester, offering durability, warmth, and weather resistance.
How do I adjust the fit of the gilet?
You can customize the fit using the hem adjusters with drawcords at the bottom of the gilet, allowing you to tighten or loosen it as needed to seal out drafts and maximize warmth.
Does this gilet provide protection from rain?
Yes, it offers weather protection with a full front zip and storm flap designed to keep wind and light rain from penetrating through the zipper. It is described for weather protection rather than full waterproofing.
Are there pockets on the gilet?
Yes, the gilet is equipped with secure zip pockets, providing a safe place to store your essentials.
Can I wear this gilet in very cold winter weather?
The Aretha Gilet features a lightly padded design for warmth. While excellent for layering and transitional seasons, its sleeveless nature and light padding mean it's best used as a mid-layer or for milder cold conditions, rather than as a primary outer layer in extreme winter weather.
What is 'bubble stitching'?
Bubble stitching is a design detail that helps to keep the internal padding evenly distributed throughout the gilet, contributing to consistent warmth and a distinctive aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels drafty or cold around the waist.
Utilize the hem adjusters with drawcords located at the bottom of the gilet. Pull the drawcords to cinch the hem tighter, creating a closer fit that seals out cold air and traps warmth more effectively.
Hood is uncomfortable or gets in the way.
The hood is detachable. You can easily remove it for a different look or when you don't need the extra head protection. Store it safely to reattach later.
Zipper feels stiff or snags occasionally.
Ensure that no fabric from the gilet or your underlying clothing is caught in the zipper teeth. Zip up and down slowly, guiding the zipper pull. For persistent stiffness, a light application of a zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can sometimes help, applied carefully to the teeth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent mobility due to the sleeveless design, perfect for active use.
- Versatile weather protection with a detachable hood and storm flap.
- Offers core warmth without the bulk, ideal for layering.
- Secure storage with integrated zip pockets.
- Adjustable hem allows for a customized fit, enhancing comfort and warmth retention.
Cons
- Does not provide warmth or protection for the arms.
- Lightly padded design may not be sufficient as a primary outer layer in very cold conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Aretha Gilet is straightforward. Simply put it on over your chosen base layer or mid-layer. Use the full front zip to fasten it, ensuring the inner storm flap is flat to provide optimal protection. If needed, attach the detachable hood by aligning the snaps or zipper (Info needed: method of hood attachment) and securing it.
Compatibility
This gilet is designed for adults and is compatible with a wide range of casual and active wear. Its sleek profile makes it an excellent layering piece over t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, sweaters, or fleeces. It can also be worn comfortably under a waterproof shell jacket for added insulation in wet conditions. The UK 6 sizing refers to the women's dress size standard. Made from Polyester, it integrates well with other synthetic or natural fiber garments.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Trespass Aretha Gilet, follow these general care guidelines for polyester apparel:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or, preferably, hang dry away from direct sunlight to prevent heat damage to the padding.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage polyester fibers and padding.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Zippers/Fasteners: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing to prevent snagging.
